Beach Baby

We celebrated Hannah's Gotcha Day on August 4th with such gratitude! It's been one year since we brought this little gift home and boy how she has flourished!

Spending a couple of weeks down in Newport was the best way to commemorate our first year with her. We had gone down last year at this time and being there brought back so many memories of our first few weeks with her.

Auntie "Da" (my dear friend Wendy who traveled with me to get Hannah) came down for a visit. Hannah kept calling her Da in Kyrgyzstan and the name has since stuck.

Happy Gotcha Day Hannah!!! And to Sloan I have to tell you that I stalk your site just waiting for new pics from you. Hannah looks like such a different child this year has really transformed her. I can not thank you enough.

Hannah is such a beautiful girl and looks very happy! It's hard to believe that a year and 1/2 ago our daughter was in the crib next to yours! She is now a fiesty 2 year old and lovin' life in the south!!
